Really...? The Lee is pretty dark though and very nice.

Wlcm Bama. Actually I wish mine was a little lighter.

Co grats on that Lee, Bama. That's a beauty. I eyeballed that one real hard (I think it's the same. ebay?) but ultimately decided that since I never wear the brown hat I have, another might not be the wisest investment.

Bob! A buck! For a vintage beaver Resistol! That's gotta be one of the best finds ever. Looks like it ought to clean up real nice, and even if it doesn't, a buck won't even buy you a soda these days.

Probably is, Dale. Don't see many of these come up in our size. Was an auction but had a good BIN price. My last brown for awhile, I think. Kinda like vintage boots, sometimes it's not the hat/boots you want but the maker.

Been there done that. [emoji14]

Besides, I ended up pulling the trigger on a gray Dobbs instead. Should be here first of the week.

This one was posted in the classifieds. Thanks, OCMH!
Certainly a case of love at first sight. 20's J.C.Penney's Marathon. Genuine Velour. Fits my 7 5/16 size noggin as though it were made for me.

This thing is in amazing shape for its age. The sweat is supple, felt is un-dined upon (at least to my eyes) and the liner is really nice. I'm torn between saving it for occasions and wearing the heck out of it. I'm sure I'll find a happy medium.
I should check the classifieds more often.

congrats

 

[moehawk]

Thanks moon. It more than makes up for the green one not fitting.

 

[dh66]

Congrats on that fine find Moehawk!!

That green wienie is a real gem too.

Hello
Some pics of my new hat. A lot of you know form my postings that I was looking for an inexpensive straw fedora to wear around the yard while I was doing yard work. Certainly did not want to spent a lot for a hat that is a working hat. Anyway, here it is

 

[tommyK]

Looks like you made a good choice, Walter. I find the panama straw holds up much better to abuse than the shantung

I have summer hats with leather sweatbands and some with cloth like yours. not sure which I like better but probably the leather sweatbands. I sweat through the cloth ones pretty quick and stain the ribbon. Sometimes these stains can be got rid of with an application of distilled water, sometimes not.

Moe, that Penney's is a stunner. Very jealous!

Good choice,imo.

Good choice,imo.

Thank you gentlemen for the positive support. Someday I may get a leather replacement sweatband if the cloth one does not work out.

Careful. That could step the size down a bit. The leather sweat will be thicker.

Thanks dh66 and tommyk.

New-ish acquisition, Stetson's version of The Gay Prince, in gray velvet



Fantastic velvet finish, soft as a newborn foal. Thin & light as a butterfly's wing. It would take a new crease every day. CHUFFED!

That's a nice Stetson Tijuana, Rick!

Stetson Tijuana, I didn't know the name of the model. Thanks!
